Improve your company’s emissions accounting

The tools on the OpenCO2net platform are suitable for companies of all sizes, regardless of their industry. Emission calculation standards apply to companies operating in all sectors, so our calculators are also designed to serve all types of companies. Our tools are based on the extensive OpenCO2 emissions database, which contains all the emission factors you need for your calculations.

Reliable emissions calculation forms the basis for a company’s climate work. When emissions calculations are performed in accordance with standards and cover the entire value chain of the company, it is also easier to plan and implement emissions reductions. Our tools ensure that annual emissions calculations are comparable and always based on the latest and most accurate emission factors.

In addition to our tools and carbon footprint calculators, our experts are here to help you make your company’s climate work even easier and ensure that you get the most out of our tools. In addition to providing tools, we can:

Implement customized calculation templates for customers

Assist in defining the scope of emission calculations

Select and assist in choosing correct emission factors

Provide emission factors from the ecoinvent database

How to choose the right carbon footprint calculator?

The best choice for an emissions calculation tool is a calculator that streamlines the calculation process and guarantees reliable results. We cannot collect your company’s source data from internal systems for you, but we can make your work easier in other ways. We have compiled an extensive OpenCO2 emissions database for your use, because we know how time-consuming it is to find and update the correct emission factors. We have also designed the calculator to guide you through the calculation step by step and ensure the reliability and, for example, verifiability of your calculation.

How to get started with emissions calculation?

You can try our organization-level carbon footprint calculator for free by creating an account on our OpenCO2net platform. You can also check out our different access rights on the pricing page.
If you are still unsure about emissions calculation and how your company should proceed, please contact us here. We will arrange a 30-minute brainstorming session with you, during which we can discuss what your company’s next step in climate action could be.

Should Scope 3 emissions be calculated?

For many companies, scope 3 emissions generated in the supply chain are the most significant. If a company states that its calculations comply with the GHG Protocol Scope 3 standard, the entire value chain must be identified and emissions calculated. The ESRS E1 standard also requires the calculation of scope 3 emissions.

The OpenCO2net platform’s organization-level calculator facilitates emissions calculation and includes separate tabs and categories for each scope. In addition, the calculator provides users with the emission factors required for the specific scope or category, making it as easy as possible to select the emission factor. Read more about Scope 3 emissions calculation here.

How to set emission reduction targets?

Emissions calculation alone does not guarantee responsible business practices. After calculating a company’s Scope 1-3 emissions, it is time to consider how to utilize the results. How can emissions be reduced and operations developed? Does the company want to set emission reduction targets?

For example, the ESRS E1 standard requires companies to set emission reduction targets in line with the Paris Climate Agreement. Many companies require the same from companies in their supply chain. Science-based climate targets can be set, for example, through the Science Based Targets initiative. SBTi targets must be based on standardized and reliable emissions calculations, as the targets are validated through a validation process. Read more about setting SBTi targets here.

Why calculate the carbon footprint?

Previously, carbon footprint calculation and climate work were considered pioneering, but today they provide a competitive advantage and can even be vital to business operations. Carbon footprint data may become a criterion for competition or continued cooperation. Take climate change into account in your business activities early on and set an example for others to follow.

Comply with legal requirements

Carbon footprint calculation enables the setting and monitoring of targets and commitments. It forms the basis for emission reduction and emission reduction targets, and is also an important part of risk management.

Respond to the demands of stakeholders

Stakeholders such as financiers and customers may have different requirements. Information is the cornerstone of decision-making, supports product development, and increases expertise within the organization. Get the most out of your calculations by using them to develop your brand and leverage the information in your marketing.

Create added value for your customers

The more companies report the carbon footprint of their products and services, the easier it will be to make climate-friendly purchasing decisions. Customers can compare their products and services to competing options.

On the OpenCO2net platform, you will find a carbon footprint calculator for products that comply with the ISO 14067 standard. We also create customized calculators tailored to the needs of companies for product calculations. Customized calculators further simplify the calculation work thanks to ready-made calculation limits and selected emission factors. Customized calculators are built based on companies’ products or services and are particularly well suited for companies with a diverse product range but a limited number of raw materials. With a custom calculator, you can also easily print out a ready-made carbon footprint report to send to your customers.
